With the advances in artificial intelligence and deep learning, video analytics have streamlined the automation of tasks that once relied solely upon humans. Its capabilities seem endless; from face recognition to smart parking, video analytics has been a game-changer in surveillance and security solutions.

Also known as intelligent video analytics and video content analysis, this modern technology, when integrated into a video system, recognizes movement behaviors and objects and monitors any changes in the surroundings. Let’s discuss how it’s used in industrial applications.

1. People Counting and Tracking

One of the most prevalent applications of video analytics is counting people and monitoring their movement. Most industries require this tool, especially if multiple people come in and out all day.

Besides counting people, you can set certain algorithms that detect how long one person is interacting with another or if they are acting suspiciously to strengthen the security system.

2. Facial Recognition

Video analytics can identify people by cross-referencing the faces in a video against a database. Face recognition has been widely used in many industries for attendance systems and saving a record of people entering premises.

3. Intrusion Management

Video analytics is quite helpful in keeping the intruders out of the building. With the integration of complex algorithms, the system can detect any irregularities in the specified area. For example, if any unwanted person enters the building, the system will recognize and notify the authorities to take immediate action.

4. Incident Detection

Incidents are bound to happen in an industrial environment. Every building has cameras in corridors, hallways, and other areas to monitor possible threats. By incorporating video analytics, people can record and detect any irregular incident to ensure the safety of personnel and items and provide evidence when needed. Moreover, authorities can also take preventative measures before the situation gets worse.

5. Camera Tampering Detection

Camera tampering is a common issue faced by industries; with video analytics, you can detect the video loss and determine if the cameras were tampered with. This application helps strengthen security and keeps them aware of the sabotage so authorities can prevent unwanted activity and react promptly.

6. Detecting and Preventing Hazards

Many unpredictable situations can put people, places, and other things in the surrounding in danger. Video analytics can detect threats such as smoke, fire, and other hazards to keep the situation under control.

Similarly, it can also help oil and petrochemical industries in the Middle East by detecting overflow and leaks or if tanks or vessels aren’t filled properly. This application can prevent many hazards and enhance efficiency.

7. Subject Monitoring and Counting

This application is quite helpful for many industries as it can count and keep track of all the subjects in a room, such as valuable items, equipment, people, etc. Authorities will know if there’s any anomaly in the area to ensure security.
